Worthy of respect and admiration; deserving high regard due to good qualities or achievements. Describes someone or something that can be valued highly or esteemed.
From Latin 'aestimabilis,' from 'aestimare' meaning 'to value' or 'to estimate.' The word maintains the sense of being worthy of high valuation, though it has shifted from monetary worth to moral or personal worth.
Think 'estimate-able'—something so good that you can easily estimate it deserves high value! An estimable person is like a valuable antique that any appraiser would immediately recognize as worth a lot.
